Clever bartering game where you need to read the desires of the characters based on their character design. Could use more fleshing out but great for a jam!

The premise is very good, and one that would be interesting as a standalone game like this or incorporated into larger games, like the original Fallout games or in a Recettear sort of game. Main gripe is the trial and error nature of the value of items. Some indication of what a customer type might prefer from visual clues or dialogue would be nice, although in 2 days a solid effort and strong premise, nice one.
This is a very interesting and unique game. I don't understand if theres any logic to what each character wants to trade or if its just random trial and error but I love the museum mechanic.
I enjoyed the game quite a bit and played it until I beat it! I didn't feel like it 100% fit the prompt for the jam (I may not have understood it), but I liked some of the "game-y" aspects. For example, I know making 1-for-1 trades doesn't boost my economy, so I stash diamonds until someone walks in with 3 items, or, alternatively, trade one diamond for another diamond and something else. The characters and items were all fun, and it felt a bit like a masked casual puzzler. Would play again
